A delegation of former UK ministers and parliamentarians visiting Israel has criticized British policy. In a conversation with Israel Hayom, they said, “This won’t bring us closer to a two-state solution and won’t ease the suffering of the Palestinian people.”
Despite the French President’s statement that he intends to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state, Israel approved a French request that Jordanian Air Force planes drop humanitarian aid shipments into Gaza on their behalf.
The clarification stated that after publication, the newspaper learned from the child's doctor that he suffers from underlying medical conditions.
The official statement declared, "Hamas, which openly uses civilians as human shields, operates from hospitals and uses schools and kindergartens to store weapons, has stolen aid from Gaza's population many times by shooting Palestinians."
Countries from the United Arab Emirates and the Arab League voiced support for ending the war and called for renewed talks on a two-state solution.
In a meeting of the Israeli Diplomatic-Security Cabinet, ministers discussed the possibility of annexing parts of the Gaza Strip if Hamas continues to oppose a deal in the coming days. Another option raised was a targeted military operation aimed at striking terrorist strongholds.
The footage follows weeks of claims by Hamas alleging that security personnel were responsible for looting the aid.
The Prime Minister’s Office accused Hamas of stealing humanitarian aid and using civilians as human shields, amid a growing sense that a decisive moment is approaching.
A senior Israeli official clarified that Jerusalem now looks for a breakthrough, via Qatar and Egypt, to see whether Hamas will show flexibility which could allow Israel’s negotiation team to return to Doha. Otherwise, Israel is poised to escalate its military operations in Gaza.
Just ahead of the Israeli cabinet meeting, officials said negotiations over a hostage deal have stalled, and the IDF is responding accordingly.
